All skincare products come with an expiry date once they’ve been opened. If you’re a bit of a skincare enthusiast and have a tendency to buy more products than you need, it’s likely there are a few products sitting on your bathroom shelf that have been open for years. Now is the time to spring clean your skincare collection, and importantly, to throw away any expired products.

Check for expired products

It’s important never to use expired skincare because the preservatives in them are only designed to work for the amount of time the product should be open for. This means that by using expired products, you could be exposing your skin to bacteria. Another reason to avoid expired products is that many active ingredients lose their effectiveness over time, so the product might not work as well.

To make sure you never have to deal with throwing away expired products again, it’s a good idea to rethink your approach to skincare. You don’t need to have lots of different products. Skincare routines don’t have to be complicated, just consistent, using high-quality, well-chosen products.

Get the Essentials

There are only a few products that are really essential to a great skincare routine. The first is a cleanser. Make sure that the cleanser you choose is adapted to your skin type so it doesn’t strip your skin or leave it oily. The next product that you need is an exfoliator. Exfoliation is essential for clear, smooth, radiant skin. Choose one that is gentle but effective and make sure that you only use it twice a week to avoid over-exfoliation. Next, you need a moisturiser. It’s important to choose a good quality moisturiser that will protect and hydrate your skin and is adapted to your skin type.

SPF is a Must

Take some time to research what extra ingredients your skin needs before making your choice. The last product that is absolutely essential to every skincare routine is SPF. It is imperative that you protect your skin from the sun as it is a major cause of premature ageing and pigmentation problems, not to mention the risk of more serious skin issues.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
